You mean the lesbians, le nubian? I thought they were being really obnoxious and changed the channel as soon as Phil asked Caite about them--what did they say?

Kathy,

I don't remember verbatim, but the dark-haired member of the couple (I'm terrible with names) started bitching out the models for U-turning them. I couldn't believe it! Now, I'm empathetic because I thought the models' reasons for U-turning them were suspect, but U-turn is within the rules of the race, people can U-turn whomever they'd like, you just have to suck it up.

I do hope TAR gets rid of the U-Turn in the future. No one survived it this season and I actually don't think that's quite fair.

The U-Turn, if they keep it, should use the challenges from the Speed Bumps. And the Speed Bumps need to be changed to something like both members having to do a Road Block, consecutively, or both sides of a Detour.

I haven't really liked any of the special challenges since they got rid of having a fast forward on every leg (which I understand doing for logistical production reasons). Something that just pops up a couple of times just isn't fair.

I'm with you megan. My feeling on the Speed Bump is if there is going to be a consequence for being last on a non-elim leg, the challenge should be a challenge. Flipping quarters or taking a sauna? With very little travel? Not much of a consequence.

Also, that last stop was five blocks from my apt!

I liked that the last three clues were Actual Clues.

Coit Tower is one of my top SF places -- I love the WPA murals so much!

Too bad Dan & Jordan started out poisoning the last leg with a dick-ass move about position in line, which was so petty and actually didn't matter at all.

I wonder if Brent & Caite actually got as far as the memory task, and how they did on it once they did....

Well it was after Caite tried to fake apologize. That would have made me blow my top too.

Which one?!
